Honestly reddit, and now Lemmy, is missing NSFW categorization. Some people don't mind swearing or nudity, but don't want to see gore and/or porn. It might be wise to implement some kind of categorization system. It could also give instances more flexibility in what kind of content they wish to federate.

Megathread for Reddit Blackouts and News - Day 3

I like how they state the following:

As of July 1, 2023, we are increasing the API limits for our free API usage from 60 to 100 Queries Per Minute for those using OAuth authentication.

They're making it sound like they're increasing the rate limit, whereas they're actually changing it from 60 queries per user per application per minute to 100 queries per application per minute. So if you had a 3rd party app with 1000 users, you'd have 60 queries each minute for every single user, now all those 1000 users will have to share 100 queries each minute (so that'd be 1 query per user every 10 minutes), unless the app developer is willing to pay up.

AI got better at drawing hands, because people started focused on training the AI to draw good hands. Best way to detect AI is to look at background details.

In this case you can see a warped keyboard, nonsensical screen contents and the chairs and screens in the background seem weird.

Another common giveaway (although not applicable here) is garbled text.

Why did all the app devs give up on the idea of the user providing their own API key?

There's three things I'd expect that reddit could do in retaliation:

  • They're able to identify the people using an API key for this, and either deny them API access, or straight up ban them
  • They further restrict free API access, rendering this option useless
  • They take legal action against the app developers

And even if they don't take any action, ask yourself this: do you really want to keep using reddit, with the way they're acting right now? All this feels like a big middle finger towards their oldest users.
